Page 56 Book Meme

Tracy at Tracy's Place tagged me for this book meme:

So here are the rules:

Grab the nearest book. Open the book to page 56. Find the fifth sentence. Post the text of the next two to five sentences in your journal/blog along with these instructions.

Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the closest. Tag five other people to do the same.

Okay so the book closest to me didn't have five sentences so I grabbed the next closest:

"She has refused out of fear, and her Lord is bitter enough over the recent attacks that he supports her refusal"
"Has news of these raids reached Celieria City?"

Any guesses about what it is? And its one of my favorite books. Okay... you guys are so lucky that the American Heritage Dictionary (which usually closest to the computer) was buried under a stack of books. But for your enjoyment, page 56:

bark n. The short , harsh sound characteristically made by a dog. -v. 1. To produce such a sound. 2. To speak sharply; snap. -idiom, bark up the wrong tree. Informal. To wastefully misdirect one's energies.

Ok - I'm tagging the following people but they are under no obligation to play.
